Thanks to Teletoon Retro and Nickelodeon, which all Rogers cable customers can receive on Rogers Anyplace TV for free until April 5, you can share some of your favourite childhood shows with your children. We recently chatted with Toronto bloggerEmma Waverman about doing just that.

Were you a fan of Saturday morning cartoons? What was your favourite cartoon growing up?

I was a fan of Saturday morning cartoons. I remember sitting on the couch with my sister and a cereal box hoping that my mother wouldn’t wake up so we could keep watching.

I always liked the shows that had girls as the main characters — they were few and far between though!

You have kids now, what are some of their favourite shows?

My boys, especially my 9-year-old, love anything to do with superheroes; so Justice League, the Avengers, Iron Man. And my 7-year old daughter sometimes gets a chance to watch the girlie shows like My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake. But she also likes superheroes and dressed up as Wonder Woman for Halloween two years in a row.

Are you excited to introduce them to the shows you loved as a kid with Teletoon Retro on Rogers Anyplace TV?

Any time you can sit and bond with your kids and introduce them to a little bit of your own history, it’s a good thing. Sometimes the retro cartoons give us a chance to talk about how some things have changed about the world, and some things haven’t.

As a mom, what do you like most about Rogers Anyplace TV?

My daughter often steals my iPad and watches cartoons while her older brothers are watching shows that are just too scary for her. She knows how to work the iPad better than I do.

Where is the oddest place you, or your kids, have used Rogers Anyplace TV?

I found my daughter hiding under the dining room table watching retro cartoons the other day. It took me a while to find her!
